Arrogance

I'll  bet someone is PO'ed, Florida Today returned this to their Blog Page,  minutes after I announced publicly it was gone.

Election Eve here in Florida, not that term applies any more, since roughly ha 50% of the votes here in Florida, and many other places have already been been cast.  I miss the time when Election Day was a Holiday and most people where off.  Generally it was a boring holiday.  

Well except for the year when a buddy of mine turned 21 on election day.  The poor guy was a Vietnam Vet, but couldn't buy a drink across the bar,  He'd gotten busted trying the Saturday night before his Election Day Birthday..  So  on Tuesday Morning we went looking for an open bar, then an open liquor store, finally had to settle for a "beer only" bar another friend managed.  With the back door unlocked we started inviting friends about 10:oo am that morning.  Since the cash register was full by the time he could legally open, the owner didn't even object to loudly about the couple holes birthday boy shot into the ceiling.

This election has been every bit as entertaining, but a lot less fun.  Two years ago the American people voted for change, and they got it, in ways they never imagined.  Washington DC was taken over over my a one party system of arrogant educated elitists who decided they'd been mandated to "Rule", not lead the country.  They boasted they'd rule for the next forty years without opposition.  For two years they ignored everything the voters told them.  If sixty or seventy percent of the voters told them something was a bad idea, the Administration with a rubber stamp Congress was almost certain to do it.. The economy, jobs, bailouts, stimulus. Obamacare and the War on Arizona come to mind, I could think of dozens more, but you get the idea.
